Hope, one of the oldest motorcycle' offlcers in Nassau County, in l^int of service, was badly bruised Sunday afternoon, when he crashed broitdside into an automobile, while riding along the Merrick Road. A large car suddenly crossed the road at Ooean Avenue and Hope was un¬ able to clear it in time. He swung the same way the car was going, and his leg was caught between the two machines and badly bruised.
He was taken to his home at Mer¬ rick and has been confined for several days, but no permanent injuries are anticipaled. The motorcycle was badlly wrecked.

tricts No. 6 and 8 as an aid to the Victory Loan. These tanks are called "whippet," a whippet being a small and agile breed of dog. These tanks are small and swift and agile, com¬ pared with the huge steel monsters that preceded them on the battle line.
A forty horse power Buda motor in \ stem of the tank drives it as fast as nine miles an hour, which is speedy enough to overtake enemy infantry, and its caterpillar tractors will carry it over shell holes and trenches. It goes through walls and wire entan¬ glements.
Two men operate a "whippet", a driver and a gunner for the machine gun in the front. Behind and above the gunner sits the driver, amid lev¬ ers and handles. Neither man can stand up, for there is no space over¬ head. Telephones strapped to their heads make communication between them possible despite the roar of the motor and the gun.
These "whippet" tanks and their crews have reason to be "proud of what th«"y did to the Germans.
In charge of the tank which will tour these sub-districts will be Ser¬ geant T. S. M^rtinetti, of Companv A, 328th Battalion, Tanks Corps. Oth¬ er members of the crew will be Priv- at H. H. Weiss, Co. C, 301st Battal¬ ion; Corporal A. A. Korth, Ca. A, 329th Battelion; Corporal P. M. An¬ derson, Co. A, 328th Battelion.
The itinerary of the tenk includes:
May 5—Bay Shore, Babylon, Lin¬ denhurst, Aniityville, Farmingdale, Hicksville.

Hope, one of the oldest motorcycle' offlcers in Nassau County, in l^int of service, was badly bruised Sunday afternoon, when he crashed broitdside into an automobile, while riding along the Merrick Road. A large car suddenly crossed the road at Ooean Avenue and Hope was un¬ able to clear it in time. He swung the same way the car was going, and his leg was caught between the two machines and badly bruised.
He was taken to his home at Mer¬ rick and has been confined for several days, but no permanent injuries are anticipaled. The motorcycle was badlly wrecked.

tricts No. 6 and 8 as an aid to the Victory Loan. These tanks are called "whippet," a whippet being a small and agile breed of dog. These tanks are small and swift and agile, com¬ pared with the huge steel monsters that preceded them on the battle line.
A forty horse power Buda motor in \ stem of the tank drives it as fast as nine miles an hour, which is speedy enough to overtake enemy infantry, and its caterpillar tractors will carry it over shell holes and trenches. It goes through walls and wire entan¬ glements.
Two men operate a "whippet", a driver and a gunner for the machine gun in the front. Behind and above the gunner sits the driver, amid lev¬ ers and handles. Neither man can stand up, for there is no space over¬ head. Telephones strapped to their heads make communication between them possible despite the roar of the motor and the gun.
These "whippet" tanks and their crews have reason to be "proud of what th«"y did to the Germans.
In charge of the tank which will tour these sub-districts will be Ser¬ geant T. S. M^rtinetti, of Companv A, 328th Battalion, Tanks Corps. Oth¬ er members of the crew will be Priv- at H. H. Weiss, Co. C, 301st Battal¬ ion; Corporal A. A. Korth, Ca. A, 329th Battelion; Corporal P. M. An¬ derson, Co. A, 328th Battelion.
